A migrant is:
 a man, a woman, a child
- who leaves his or her country of birth
- and lives in another country.
The migrant is not defined by the reason for his or her departure, nor by the length of time spent abroad, but by the fact that he or she now lives in a different country.
Examples:
an Angolan lorry driver in Spain
a Moroccan maid in Sweden
a Chinese restaurant owner in Chile
an Indian construction worker in Dubai
a Qatari boy attending school in the United Kingdom
a Japanese engineer in Kenya
a Australian aid worker in Namibia
an Albanian refugee in Denmark
an Ugandan doctor in Thailand
an Ethiopian child adopted by a European family
a Senegalese woman living clandestinely in France
a Nigerian peacekeeper in Senegal, Darfur, or Chad
an American student in Italy
a Beninois teacher in South Africa
an Iranian asylum seeker in Canada
a Malaysian dress designer in Paris
a Brazilian harbourmaster in Panama
a Montenegran prostitute in Poland
...
the list is endless.
